Re: Crazy weather

Didn't the Farmers' Almanac predict a winter like the one we are having? zem

One strange aspect of this crazy weather is that we have a Baltimore Oriole at our feeders this winter. The bird books say
they winter south of here, and that one wintering north of Virginia is rare. He seems to be a juvenile - his coloring is not as brilliant as those we see in the spring - but he's been
here all winter, even when the temperatures were in the single
digits. I worried about him when we had freezing rain, but I
guess he has somewhere to shelter. He seems to be a loner -
no sigh of another. I hope his flock will rediscover him in the spring - if he survives the winter.

Strange weather - fluctuates from mild to very cold in hours - up and down. Don't remember another winter like this. Don't
like it.
